You're correct that people can have different opinions with regards to art. But this is a privately-owned site, which means that there is only one standard that matters. That's Lorekeep. And he's had his say (a sentiment with which I agree).

Additionally, when the issue is quality, there is a certain amount of objective analysis that can still go into the evaluation of work. Take a look at Skiff's stuff over in the BE area, for example, and then look at Link's pieces. It's just incomparable. Sorry to be so blunt, but it's true. And if you have, as you claim, such high standards, Link's current work shouldn't really pass muster as a high-quality piece of work based on artistic merit alone.

That isn't to say there aren't other factors involved. Link obviously has a desire to contribute, and contribute in quantity, which is good. But then it goes back to my earlier point - being a privately-owned site, there is a minimum-level of quality required, which it has been determined this piece lacks.

Also, your ability to judge the merits of this work are suspect given that much of the early part of the work directly concerns your particular fetish focus. Think of it as if you were looking at a story - many growth stories focus on clothes-ripping, but are just complete crap. No writing ability, poor prose, bad grammar/syntax, complete lack of characterization/plot advancement, and so on and so forth. Solely because you identify with the spirit of an endeavor doesn't mean the endeavor itself is quality work.

And then just claiming you have high standards but a different point of view is meaningless - if you for example were to like one of those stories, you would like something that is crap. That's not high standards with a different point of view, that's LOW standards that are that low because you're willing to compromise on quality as long as a work matches your fetish, which is what I'm guessing is the case here.
